Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Analysis of the Joint Effects of Thermal Stresses and Corrosion on Integral Abutment Bridges [PDF]
, 2023 The corrosion of reinforced concrete structures in coastal areas turns out to be very severe and can extend significantly in windy zones. Additionally, frequent temperature changes and, above all, exposure to extreme temperatures might induce wider ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Stenopodidea represents one of the basal lineages within Pleocyemata, yet the male reproductive system (MRS) of this group remains poorly understood, with limited information available regarding its morphology and function. This study provides the first detailed description of the MRS in four stenopodidean shrimp species from two families ...

Time-Variant Seismic Reliability of Code-Compliant RC Bridges
, 2021 Bridges are usually exposed to harsh environmental conditions which can trigger deterioration phenomena in the structure. Reinforced concrete (RC) bridges are prone to reinforcement corrosion when subjected to carbonatation or when the surrounding ...
